What you're suggesting is possible, and perhaps even likely, but ANY large change to a system likely has massive unintended consequences, that doesn't mean you stay in stasis. In my opinion, we have an economic system that demands that you must work for your keep, while at the same time, work is drying up because automation means we need less workers. When you have a large amount of people that WANT to work, and yet no work for them, and as a consequence they're left in poverty, it implies our economic ideas have failed. We're clearly in a transition period.
